Methods The medical records of 4158 dental emergency patients in 2019 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into pre-SARS-COV-2 group and SARS-COV-2 group according to time. The demographic data, date and time, diagnosis, and treatment methods of the two groups were statistically described, and the chi-squared test was used to analyze the differences. The medical records of 4158 dental emergency patients during the same period of two years in 2019 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into SARS-COV-2 pre-group and SARS-COV-2 group according to time. The demographic data, date and time, diagnosis and treatment methods of the two groups were statistically described, and the chi-square test was used to determine the differences. Results During the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, the number of dental emergency visits increased by 29.7%. During the pandemic, males (n = 286, 58.1%) were more likely to visit dental emergency centers for trauma than females (n = 206, 41.9%) (P < 0.05); females (n = 242, 60.8%) were more likely to visit dental emergency centers for acute gingivitis and acute pericoronitis than males (n = 156, 39.2%) (P < 0.05). A major change in diagnosis was related to acute pulpitis (K04.0) and acute apical periodontitis (K04.4), which increased by 9.2%; acute gingivitis (K05.0) and acute pericoronitis (K05.2) increased by 3.5%; open wound of the lip and oral cavity (S01.5) decreased by 17.9%; other conditions (non-emergency diseases) increased by 6.8%, compared with the pre-SARS-COV-2 period. Among the treatment modalities, during the pre-SARS-COV-2 period, 304 patients (17.7%) received a prescription for antibiotics and analgesics, and 1485 (86.5%) received a prescription for local treatment. During the SARS-COV-2 period, 958 (39.2%) received a prescription for antibiotics and analgesics, and 1636 (67.0%) received a prescription for local treatment. Conclusion SARS-COV-2 pandemic led to changes in the characteristics of dental emergency patients. Trauma, acute pulpitis, and acute periodontitis are the leading reasons patients refer to dental emergency centers. Dental emergency centers should optimize treatment procedures, optimize the staff, and reasonably allocate materials according to the changes to improve the on-site treatment capacity and provide adequate dental emergency care.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","1472-6831","","","","","APR 3",2021,21,1,"","","","","","",174,"10.1186/s12903-021-01499-y","","","","","","","WOS:000636382000001",33812370,"","","","",""]

Methods: Sixty patients with age range 14-19 years were randomized into two groups: 'A-PDT group' which received additional A-PDT with conventional protocol, and 'conventional protocol group' (CPG) without A-PDT. Present pain intensity (PPI) were investigated using McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Gingival crevicular fluid were sampled to evaluate the levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Microbial plaque was collected to evaluate total counts of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia expressed as log colony forming unit (CFU)/mL. Level of pain intensity, cytokine profiling and microbial load were assessed at baseline (B0), and post treatment F-7 (Day 7) and F-14 (Day 14). Results: A total of 59 patients (30 CPG and 29 A-PDT) completed the clinical trial. Present pain intensity scores statistically significantly reduced from B-0 to F-7 in both treatment groups (p < 0.05). For VAS, both groups showed statistically significant reduction in pain scores at F-14 only when compared with baseline (p < 0.05). There was no inter-group significant difference at any time point for either pain scores (p > 0.05). Only TNF-alpha showed statistically significant reduction with A-PDT compared to CPG at both F-7 and F-14. CPG group showed significant reduction for only T. forsythia at both follow-up points. The microbial counts for P. gingivalis and T. forsythia significantly reduced in A-PDT groups compared to CPG group at both F-7 and F-14. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that A-PDT may be a reliable treatment option in pericoronitis for the reduction of TNF-alpha and microbial load. However, A-PDT does not have any effect in the reduction of pain.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","1572-1000","1873-1597","","","","SEP",2020,31,"","","","","","","",101830,"10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101830","","","","","","","WOS:000576943000016",32512248,"","","","",""]

This kind of surgery is predictable, and complications are infrequent. Immune deficiency is one of the considerations for the prevention of complications. HIV patients may be immune deficient. Third molar surgical procedures are associated with bleeding and increased risk of infection. Improvement in oral hygiene must be encouraged, such as pre-operative scaling. Prophylactic antibiotics and history of anti-retroviral therapy should be considered. Case report 7 cases of third molar surgery in HIV patients were handled at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department. Intraoral examination showed typical lesions of HIV patients such as oral candidiasis, hairy leucoplakia, necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis, oral ulcers and also pericoronitis of third molars. Radiological examination showed impacted teeth in the upper and lower the third molar region. Third molar treatment was carried out as elective surgery under general anaesthesia. Prophylactic antibiotics were given to the patients as standard of care. Conclusion Treatment planning for HIV-positive patients follows the same sequence as with other patients, and the priorities are to remove local infection and prevent further dental disease. Third molar surgery in HIV-positive patients can improve dental health which can affect the quality of life. Prophylactic antibiotic should be used to prevent infections. Bleeding control also needed to avoid complications.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","1354-523X","1601-0825","","","","SEP",2020,26,"","",1,"SI","",145,148,"","10.1111/odi.13397","","","","","","","WOS:000565370000023",32862525,"","","","",""]

How the oral microflora changes during pericoronitis and whether different types of impacted third molar harbor the same microflora are still unknown. Saliva, subgingival plaque, and gingival plaque of mandibular third molars (M3Ms) were collected from twelve patients with acute pericoronitis. They were given local irrigation or local irrigation + antibiotics according to symptoms. Samples were harvested at the first visit with pericoronitis, 1 week after treatment, and 6 weeks after treatment. 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction products were generated and sequenced after DNA isolation. Comparison of three sampling sites showed that, the subgingival plaque of M3Ms had most remarkable changes in symptomatic period, including a significant increase in microbial richness, and a convergent trend in microbial composition. After treatment, the subgingival microbiome was altered and largely returned to the state in asymptomatic period. In summary, the distal subgingival microbiota of M3M was most likely to be associated with the pathogenesis of pericoronitis. The post-treatment microbiota shift of M3M proved the effectiveness of treatment. The inclination type of impacted M3Ms and treatment method would also make a difference to the pericoronal microbiota.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","1664-302X","","","","","AUG 5",2020,11,"","","","","","","",1888,"10.3389/fmicb.2020.01888","","","","","","","WOS:000563436800001",32849467,"","","","",""]

The most indicated treatment in the initial phase is the irrigation for cleanliness of the region. In order to reduce the chances of systemic dissemination of the infection and antibiotics use, it is mandatory to test effective treatments in the initial phase of pericoronitis avoiding the evolution of the infectious disease. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an interesting alternative because it is an effective antimicrobial treatment that is easy to perform and does not select bacterial resistance. The methylene blue (MB) used in PDT has been studied in an oral formulation, which optimizes the formation of monomers increasing its antimicrobial action. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PDT with MB in an astringent vehicle in pericoronitis on the initial phase in healthy patients through microbiological, clinical, and immune response. The impact of pericoronitis on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of these patients will also be evaluated. Method: In this randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical bioequivalence protocol, 64 healthy patients with pericoronitis will be evaluated. Patients will be randomized into the positive control group (G1) (n=32): irrigation with sterile saline and PDT (conventional MB at 0.005% concentration and irradiation with low intensity laser lambda=660nm, 9J per point and radiant exposure of 318J/cm(2)), and the experimental group (G2) (n=32): treatment identical to G1, however, MB will be delivered in a new formulation for oral use. Microbiological analysis will be performed by RT-PCR for the bacterium Tannerella forsythia. Gingival crevicular fluid and saliva will be collected to evaluate cytokines by Luminex assay (Luminex Corporation, Austin, TX). The pain (visual analogue scale), swelling and buccal opening (digital caliper), and OHRQoL will also be evaluated through the OHIP-14 questionnaire.

Although Actinomyces-associated lesions in the jaw, such as radicular cyst and osteomyelitis, have been reported by many authors, there are few reports have previously described Actinomyces-associated calcification in the jaw. We report here a rare case of Actinomyces-associated calcifications around an impacted third molar of the mandible. A 76-year-old man with left mandibular pericoronitis was referred to our department. A panoramic radiograph showed alveolar bone resorption caused by severe periodontitis of the left mandibular second molar and multiple small radiopaque spots around the crown of left mandibular third molar in a radiolucent lesion. Computed tomography revealed that the lesion of the left mandibular retromolar lesion was low density, with multiple high density spots surrounding the third molar crown surface. Removal of the lesion and the left mandibular second and third molars were performed and multiple small black pieces of hard tissue were present on the crown surface of the third molar. Histopathological examination of soft tissue specimen around the third molar revealed that collagenous fibroconnective tissue infiltrated by inflammatory cells with squamous epithelium on its surface. Black hard tissue consisted of calcification and conglomerations of Actinomyces which were densely stained by hematoxylin-eosin stain were observed at the margin of the hard tissue surrounding tiny filamentous structures. The postoperative course was uneventful without need for additional antibiotics and there has been no recurrence 22 months after surgery. (C) 2016 Asian AOMS, ASOMP, JSOP, JSOMS, JSOM, and JAMI.

Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 440 patients with orofacial infections treated in Diyarbakir Military Hospital from September 2004 through June 2008. Demographic data, situation before admission, etiologic factors, imaging studies, involved spaces, microbiology, treatment approach, and hospitalization days were analyzed. Results: Of the 440 patients, 374 (85%) were males and 66 (15%) were females. The most common etiologic factor was periapical abscess related to dental caries (n= 225) (51%), followed by pericoronitis (n= 141) (32%), periodontitis (n= 61) (14%), postextraction conditions (n= 8) (2%), and periimplantitis (n= 3) (1%). The involved spaces were the submandibular space (n= 173) (39%), the buccal space (n= 135) (31%), the fossa canina space (n= 97) (22%) and the lateral pharyngeal space (n= 35) (8%). Trismus and dysphagia were present at admission in over 70% of cases. The most commonly isolated bacterial pathogens were the aerobes. Two-hundred eighty three patients required surgical drainage of the abscess. Average length of hospital stay was 7.2 days. All patients recovered completely without any serious complications. None of the patients needed tracheotomy or fiberoptic intubation. The most commonly encountered postoperative sequela was the need of a second operation to correct the extraoral scar due to spontaneously ruptured abscess or a penrose drain. Conclusion: Treatment of orofacial infections necessitates accurate diagnosis aided by imaging studies, effective antibiotic therapy, airway maintenance and timely incision and drainage, when indicated. Culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing do not change the treatment approach in immunocompetent patients.","","","","","Erdogan, Ozgur/0000-0003-1547-2513","","","","","","","","","","","","1300-0292","2146-9040","","","","JUN",2010,30,3,"","","","",1002,1008,"","10.5336/medsci.2008-9420","","","","","","","WOS:000281262200024","","","","","",""]

Odontogenic infections are generally underestimated in terms of morbidity and mortality, although the incidence and severity have decreased dramatically over the past 70 years. However, odontogenic infections can have varying degrees of severity and even some can be quite complex and need emergency care in a hospital setting under a specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Odontogenic infections are commonly the result of pericoronitis, caries with pulp exposure, periodontitis or complication of a dental procedure.

The common sources of infection of the jaw include dental caries associated with periapical periodontitis, periodontitis, fractures and nonodontogenic infections. Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis mainly presents in younger patients. Here, we present a case of a 12-year-old patient with chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis with no definitive infection source such as pericoronitis, caries and periodontitis. Therapeutic measures involved surgical debridement and antibiotics. Disease remission and a normal facial symmetrical morphology were observed at the six-month follow-up.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","0035-8843","1478-7083","","","","MAY",2019,101,5,"","","","",328,332,"","10.1308/rcsann.2019.0021","","","","","","","WOS:000472721700009",30855166,"","","","",""]

Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of cases of pericoronitis affecting any tooth exclusive of the third molar diagnosed in the pediatric dentistry out-patient clinic in Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife between January 2008 and June 2012. Pericoronitis was diagnosed using the criteria described by Howe. Information on age, sex, history malaria fever, upper respiratory diseases, tonsillitis, and evidence of immunosuppression were taken. Radiographs were taken in all cases to rule out tooth impaction and information on treatment regimen was also collected. Results: The prevalence of non-third molar related pericoronitis was 0.63%. More females (63.6%) were affected. Chronic pericoronitis was the most common presentation (73.3%). No case was reported in the primary dentition and the premolar. No case was associated with tooth impaction and the tooth most affected was the lower right second permanent molar (35.7%). Bilateral presentation was seen in 36.4% patients. Herpetic gingivostomatitis was reported in association with one case. Chronic pericoronitis resolved within 3 days of management with warm saline mouth bath (WSMB) and analgesics, while acute/subacute resolved within 10 days of management with antibiotics, analgesics, and WSMB. Conclusions: The prevalence of non-third molar related pericoronitis is the low. The most prevalence type is chronic pericoronitis affecting the lower right second permanent molar.","","","","Folayan, Morenike/A-8632-2018","Folayan, Morenike/0000-0002-9008-7730","","","","","","","","","","","","1119-3077","","","","","JAN-FEB",2014,17,1,"","","","",18,22,"","10.4103/1119-3077.122826","","","","","","","WOS:000329520100005",24326801,"","","","",""]

Methods The data in this retrospective cohort study were collected from electronic medical records and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Statistical analyses were conducted using the chi-square test and the Z-test with post-hoc Bonferroni adjustment (alpha =0.05). Results The study covered 20,879 patient visits during a 1.5-year period (from 1 June 2015 to 1 December 2016). Antibiotics were prescribed in 10,188 (48.8%) visits. In 6,202 (29.7%) visits, no dental treatment was performed and only an antibiotic was prescribed. The antibiotics most frequently prescribed were from the penicillin group and also contained clavulanic acid (70.5%); the second most frequently prescribed antibiotic was clindamycin (15.0%). The most common diagnoses for which an antibiotic was prescribed were acute apical abscess, pericoronitis and retained root; for these diagnoses, an antibiotic was prescribed in 79.8%, 64.3% and 63.3% of visits, respectively. Prescription of an antibiotic was significantly more frequent during Sundays and holidays (55.6% of visits) than during working days (33.2% of visits). Prescription of an antibiotic increased from the age of 1 towards the age of 75 and decreased thereafter. Female dentists prescribed antibiotics slightly but significantly (P < 0.001) more frequently than male dentists (50.8% and 46.8% of visits, respectively). High heterogeneity was observed among dentists regarding their criteria for prescribing antibiotics; individual dentists prescribed antibiotics in 15.0%-72.1% of the total number of visits. Conclusion Multiple possible issues in the prescription of antibiotics were observed, ranging from administration for inappropriate indications to noncritical and excessive prescription.","","","","Marovic, Danijela/ABD-9281-2020","Marovic, Danijela/0000-0003-3104-5749","","","","","","","","","","","","0020-6539","1875-595X","","","","AUG",2019,69,4,"","","","",273,280,"","10.1111/idj.12460","","","","","","","WOS:000476510300004",30600530,"","","","",""]

Method Data were collected prospectively for UK Service personnel on Operation Herrick (OpH) during an 18-month period and measured against prospectively collected 'home base' (HB) control data. Results Molar teeth were responsible for 64.1% (2,089/3,259) of presentations on OpH and 69.5% (323/467) at HB, causing 81.4% (622/764) of cases of pain lasting for >60 minutes and/or waking the patient on OpH and 86.0% (129/150) at HB. Third molars were responsible for 48.3% and 43.3% of such cases, respectively, and first molars 20.7% and 26.7%. The ratio of temporary to definitive restorations was 0.42 at HB compared with 0.18 on OpH (P < 0.001). Antibiotics were prescribed in 5.7% of all cases of pulpitis/periapical infection on OpH and 7.9% at HB. A third molar causing pericoronitis was 2.4 times more likely to be extracted on OpH than at HB (27.4% cf 11.6%).

Methods: A cross-sectional survey assessed antibiotic prescribing practices of general dentists, pediatric dentists, endodontists, and oral surgeons based on a series of clinical scenarios where antibiotic coverage may be warranted. Results: The appropriate therapeutic management of patients with facial cellulitis occurred across all clinical groups. Endodontists were least likely to prescribe antibiotics for patients with irreversible pulpitis, and those with pulpal necrosis with associated parulis. Seventy-four percent of respondents prescribed antibiotics for patients suffering from pericoronitis and trismus. Conclusion: With the exception of the management of facial cellulitis, adherence to published guidelines for the prescription of antibiotics is low. Specifically, antibiotics ore being prescribed too often for patients with tooth pain or localized abscesses and infrequently when the systemic spread of infection is less obvious, such as with trismus but no fever. Universally promulgated guidelines formulated by professional bodies may lead to improved adherence and a reduction in negative outcomes resulting from the overprescription of antibiotics.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","0164-1263","1942-5473","","","","JAN-FEB",2019,41,1,"","","","",25,30,"","","","","","","","","WOS:000459692700004",30803473,"","","","",""]

Clinically, if early odontogenic infections such as acute periapical periodontitis, alveolar abscess, and pericoronitis of wisdom teeth are not treated timely, effectively and correctly, the infected tissue may spread up to the skull and brain, down to the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity and other areas through the natural potential fascial space in the oral and maxillofacial head and neck. Severe multi-space infections are formed and can eventually lead to life-threatening complications (LTCs), such as intracranial infection, pleural effusion, empyema, sepsis and even death. CASE SUMMARY We report a rare case of death in a 41-year-old man with severe odontogenic multi-space infections in the oral and maxillofacial head and neck regions. One week before admission, due to pain in the right lower posterior teeth, the patient placed a cigarette butt dipped in the pesticide Miehailin into the dental cavity to relieve the pain. Within a week, the infection gradually spread bilaterally to the floor of the mouth, submandibular space, neck, chest, waist, back, temporal and other areas. The patient had difficulty breathing, swallowing and eating, and was transferred to our hospital as an emergency admission. Following admission, oral and maxillofacial surgeons immediately organized consultations with doctors in otolaryngology, thoracic surgery, general surgery, hematology, anesthesia and the intensive care unit to assist with treatment. The patient was treated with the highest level of antibiotics (vancomycin) and extensive abscess incision and drainage in the oral, maxillofacial, head and neck, chest and back regions. Unfortunately, the patient died of septic shock and multiple organ failure on the third day after admission. CONCLUSION Odontogenic infection can cause serious multi-space infections in the oral and maxillofacial head and neck regions, which can result in multiple LTCs. The management and treatment of LTCs such as multi-space infections should be multidisciplinary led by oral and maxillofacial surgeons.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2307-8960","","","","","DEC 6",2019,7,23,"","","","",4150,4156,"","10.12998/wjcc.v7.i23.4150","","","","","","","WOS:000504077400028",31832421,"","","","",""]

Twenty-two patients had one or more PEMs, while 22 patients had none. Data were retrieved from medical and dental records. Systemic and local signs of infection and treatment were assessed. We recorded the number of transplanted CD34+ blood stem cells, days with white blood cell counts < 0.5 x 109 l-1, days until engraftment, maximum level of C-reactive protein (CRP), days with fever, positive blood cultures, days taking antibiotics, days drinking < 0.5 l, days of total parenteral nutrition, days receiving intravenously administered analgesics, and number of admission days. No statistically significant difference was detected between patients with PEMs and those without PEMs regarding any of the studied parameters. Of patients with PEMs, 36% (8 of 22) developed local infections around PEMs during the PSCT period. The study indicates that PEMs pose no significant risk of causing systemic infection in patients receiving PSCT for malignant diseases but increase the risk of developing a local infection, justifying close supervision and early treatment in cases of local infection during PSCT treatment.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","0909-8836","","","","","FEB",2010,118,1,"","","","",53,58,"","","","","","","","","WOS:000274259500008",20156265,"","","","",""]

All tissue samples were histologically examined to assess inflammatory cell response. Patients' pain (using Visual Analogue Scale) and lymphadenopathy (presence or absence) were clinically evaluated in the first 3 days and on the 7th day of treatment. Results: In the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy group, 100% improvement was achieved regarding pain and lymphadenopathy at the end of the 7th day.

The infections are usually polymicrobial involving normal endogenous flora. We characterised pyogenic odontogenic infection in patients attending Mulago Hospital, Uganda. Results: Of the 130 patients, 62 (47.7%) were female. The most frequently involved fascial spaces were: the buccal, 52 (25.4%); submasseteric, 46 (22.4%) and the submandibular space, 36 (17.5%). Dental caries was the most prevalent predisposing factor, particularly of the lower third molar teeth. Viridans Streptococci Group and Staphylococcus aureus were the most frequent bacterial isolates: 23.5% and 19.4%, respectively. All Viridans Streptococci isolates were resistant to penicillin G, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (cotrimoxazole), ampicillin and tetracycline, but susceptible to vancomycin. All Staphylococcus aureus strains were resistant to cotrimoxazole and ampicillin while retaining susceptibility to vancomycin, cefotaxime, linezolid, moxifloxacin and amoxicillin/clavulanate. Thirty five (26.9%) patients were HIV infected and the HIV status did not significantly influence the pattern of odontogenic infection. Conclusions: Dental caries was the most prevalent predisposing factor for pyogenic odontogenic infection. High prevalence of bacterial resistance to ampicillin and cotrimoxazole suggests the need for regular antibiotic susceptibility tests of isolates and rational use of antibiotics in the management of these infections. Prevention requires strengthening of oral health in the community.","","","","","Kajumbula, Henry/0000-0002-2075-0007","","","","","","","","","","","","1471-2180","","","","","FEB 22",2015,15,"","","","","","","",46,"10.1186/s12866-015-0382-z","","","","","","","WOS:000350258600004",25881243,"","","","",""]

Dental caries is caused by bacteria that destroy the enamel and dentin; it can be detected by an oral examination that shows stained pits or fissures on the tooth surface. Use of fluoride is the most effective prevention measure for dental caries. Untreated caries may progress to pulpitis and, eventually, to necrosis of the pulp. In irreversible pulpitis, the tooth dies and the patient may have a localized abscess that can spread to surrounding tissue. Periodontal infections are caused by bacteria in the subgingival dental plaque. In gingivitis, the inflamed gums bleed easily with brushing or flossing; the condition can be controlled with good oral hygiene. Periodontitis is characterized by a loss of supportive bone structure caused by chronic gingivitis; it is also associated with some systemic diseases. Localized periodontitis is treated with mechanical debridement and good oral hygiene, whereas generalized periodontitis requires adjunct antibiotic therapy. Pericoronitis results when food particles become trapped under the gum of an impacted tooth. This condition can be controlled by removal of food debris and good oral hygiene. For patients in whom. dental infections are disseminated and have invaded the deeper oral spaces, antibiotic treatment should be initiated at the time of referral.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","0002-838X","1532-0650","","","","MAR 15",2008,77,6,"","","","",797,802,"","","","","","","","","WOS:000254218500010",18386594,"","","","",""]

In a carious tooth, pain that is site-specific, severe and spontaneous usually denotes extension of caries into the tooth pulp. Caries does not always appear as a cavity in the tooth, but may lie beneath intact enamel or on surfaces between teeth. Examination of tooth pain should include firm percussion (eg, with a tongue depressor). Tenderness on percussion denotes progression of infection into the subdental tissue. Pain occurring 24-48 hours after a tooth extraction is commonly caused by superficial osteitis in the exposed alveolar bone. Examination will reveal the absence of a blood clot in the extraction socket and severe tenderness on local palpation. Severe pain related to impacted wisdom teeth is frequently caused by pericoronitis, an infection in the gingival tissues surrounding the tooth. The surrounding gingiva is erythematous and tender to palpation. Localised facial swellings of dental origin require immediate referral to a dentist. Progressive facial swelling requires aggressive antibiotic therapy and referral to hospital for definitive management.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","0025-729X","1326-5377","","","","JUL 17",2006,185,2,"","","","",64,67,"","10.5694/j.1326-5377.2006.tb00472.x","","","","","","","WOS:000239731000004",16842057,"","","","",""]

Patients and Methods: Healthy subjects (American Society of Anesthesiologists Classes I and II), aged 18 to 35 years, with minor symptoms of pericoronitis affecting at least 1 mandibular third molar were recruited for an institutional review board-approved study. The exclusion criteria were major symptoms of pericoronitis, generalized periodontal disease, body mass index greater than 29 kg/m(2), and antibiotic or tobacco use. The data from patients undergoing surgery to remove all third molars with a follow-up examination after surgery at least 3 months later were included in these analyses. The clinical, demographic, and quality of life data were collected at enrollment and after surgery. At entry, the debris was removed from symptomatic third molar sites; no attempt was made to mechanically remove nonsheddable biofilm. The patients scheduled surgery electively with a recall examination at least 3 months after surgery. Results: The median age of the 60 subjects was 21.9 years (interquartile range 20.2 to 24.7). The median postoperative follow-up was 7.7 months (interquartile range 6.0 to 12.4). The proportion of patients reporting the worst pain as severe decreased from enrollment to after surgery from 32% to 3%. Those responding none for the worst pain increased from 10% to 78%. Fifteen percent of subjects reported the pain intensity as nothing, faint, or very weak at enrollment. This increased to 96% after surgery. One third of patients reported the unpleasantness of pain as neutral, slightly unpleasant, or slightly annoying at enrollment, which increased to 97% after surgery. Also, 22% and 18% of the patients reported quite a bit or lots of difficulty with eating desired foods and chewing foods at enrollment, respectively; only 1 patient reported this degree of difficulty at the follow-up examination. In contrast, 42% and 37% of the patients reported no difficulty with eating and chewing at enrollment, which had increased to 95% and 93% at the follow-up examination, respectively.

Patients and Methods: Pericoronal pockets of mandibular third molars from 37 patients showing symptoms of acute, severe pericoronitis were sampled and subjected to microbiologic analysis, including primary evaluation by phase-contrast microscopy. To avoid overgrowth with faster-growing, less fastidious organisms, specimens were cultured on a wide variety of selective media (supporting growth of fastidious bacteria, protozoa, and fungi). Results: Microscopic examination indicated spirochetes in 55% and fusiform bacteria in 84% of the samples, A total of 441 microorganisms were isolated and identified from the 37 cultured samples. Besides obligate anaerobic bacteria, including various Actinomyces and Prevotella species, a predominantly facultative anaerobic microflora was cultivated, that is, Streptococcus milleri group (78% of samples), Stomatococcus mucilaginosus (71%), and Rothia dentocariosa (57%). Conclusion: It was concluded that the Streptococci milleri group bacteria, well-known for their ability to cause suppurative infections, are most likely involved in the pathogenesis of acute severe pericoronitis of the lower third molar.

["J","Douglass, AB; Douglass, JM","","","","Douglass, AB; Douglass, JM","","","Common dental emergencies","AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN","","","","","","","","","","","","Dental caries, a bacterial disease of teeth. characterized by destruction of enamel and dentine, is often the underlying cause of dental pain. When a carious lesion impinges on the dental pulp, pulpitis follows and, ultimately, necrosis of the pulp occurs. Untreated necrosis may lead to a localized abscess or a spreading infection into the surrounding soft tissue that results in cellulitis. Immediate treatment involves antibiotic therapy for cellulitis, perhaps with drainage of abscesses, while definitive treatment requires root canal therapy or extraction of the involved tooth. Pericoronitis is an inflammation of the soft tissue overlying a partially erupted tooth. Localized cases respond to irrigation. Secondary cellulitis can develop. Definitive treatment, may require surgical extraction of the underlying tooth or excision of the gum flap. Avulsion of a permanent tooth secondary to trauma is a true dental emergency. The tooth should be reimplanted on the spot,and the patient should be seen immediately by a dentist for splinting and antibiotic prophylaxis. Most dental problems can be prevented with regular dental care and steps to minimize risks of oral trauma.

Design A postal questionnaire of National Health Service general dental practitioners in ten English Health Authorities. Subjects General dental practitioners (1,544) contracted to provide NHS treatment in the Health Authorities of Liverpool, Wirral, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Nottingham, North Nottinghamshire, Sheffield, Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside. Main outcome measures The questionnaires were analysed and the responses to each question expressed as absolute frequencies. Results Responses to the questionnaire were received from 929 (60.1 %) practitioners. More than 95 % of practitioners recognised the need for prescribing antibiotics where there was evidence of spreading infection. Some practitioners (12.5 %) prescribed antibiotics for acute pulpitis and (3.3 %) for chronic marginal gingivitis. Antibiotics were prescribed by practitioners before drainage of acute abscesses (69 %) and by 23 % after drainage. Practitioners were generally not influenced by patient's expectations of receiving antibiotics (92 %), but would prescribe when under pressure of time (30.3 %), if they were unable to make a definitive diagnosis (47.3%), or if treatment had to be delayed (72.5 %). Amoxicillin was the most frequently prescribed antibiotic used for most clinical conditions apart from pericoronitis, acute ulcerative gingivitis and dry sockets where metronidazole was the drug of choice. There was a wide variety of dosage, frequency and duration for all the antibiotics used in the treatment of acute dental infections. Conclusions The results obtained from this questionnaire support the conclusion that the therapeutic prescribing of antibiotics in general dental practice varies widely and is suboptimal. There is a clear need for the development of prescribing guidelines and educational initiatives to encourage the rational and appropriate use of the antibiotics in National Health Service general dental practice.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","0007-0610","","","","","MAY 27",2000,188,10,"","","","",554,558,"","10.1038/sj.bdj.4800538a","","","","","","","WOS:000087742100011",10870281,"","","","",""]

The aim of this study was to obtain information for an effective antimicrobial therapy against orofacial odontogenic infections; such information was obtained from recent bacteriologic features and antimicrobial susceptibility data. Study design. The bacteriology and antimicrobial susceptibility of major pathogens in 163 patients with orofacial odontogenic infections to 7 antibiotics was examined. Results. Mixed infection of strict anaerobes with facultative anaerobes (especially viridans streptococci) was observed most often in dentoalveolar infections, periodontitis, and pericoronitis. Penicillin (penicillin G) was effective against almost all pathogens, although it did not work well against beta -lactamase-positive Prevotella. Cefmetazole was Effective against all test pathogens. Erythromycin was ineffective against viridans streptococci and most Fusobacterium. Clindamycin exerted a strong antimicrobial activity on anaerobes. Minocycline was effective against almost all the test pathogens. The antimicrobial activity of levofloxacin against viridans streptococci was not strong. Conclusions. An antibiotic that carries out antimicrobial activity against both viridans streptococci and oral anaerobes should be suitable for treatment of dentoalveolar infection, periodontitis, and pericoronitis. Penicillin remains effective as an antimicrobial against most major pathogens in orofacial odontogenic infections. Cefmetazole clindamycin, and minocycline may be effective against most pathogens, including penicillin-unsusceptible bacteria.","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","1079-2104","1528-395X","","","","NOV",2000,90,5,"","","","",600,608,"","10.1067/moe.2000.109639","","","","","","","WOS:000165398700010",11077383,"","","","",""]
